<p>Hello! I really want to know if I stand a chance at admission into Tulane University--especially with my SAT score. I don't know if I should retake it, though I think my score is pretty good.</p>
<p>Anyway, here are my stats:</p>
<p>I'm a junior in a public high school in Texas. I'm African-American, though I don't know if that really matters. (Haha.) I have an unweighted GPA of 3.8 out of a possible 4.0, and my class rank is 80 out of 582 (so I'm in the top quarter).</p>
<p>My grades consist of high B's and A's. I've never had below a B for my semester averages.</p>
<p>My SAT score is an 1850 (640 in Reading, 690 in Writing, and unfortunately a 520 in Math).</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Track Team
National Honor Society
Speech and Debate
Student Council (I will be Historian this upcoming school year)
Drill Team
HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America.) I won first place in the regional competition this year.
Book Club (Vice-President, and I plan to run for President this upcoming school year)
Spanish National Honor Society</p>
<p>Community Service:
I've done forty hours so far and plan to do much more within the next year.</p>
<p>So far, I've had Honors/AP Algebra I, English II, World History, Algebra II, Physics, American History, and English III. This coming year, I plan to take AP English IV, AP Economy, AP Government, Honors Anatomy, AP Spanish IV, Honors Pre-Calculus. I'm also going to be a Pharmacy student next year and will take the Pharmacy Technician exam at the end of my senior year.</p>
<p>I plan on majoring in Biomedical Engineering and minoring in English. I really want to be a pediatrician for UNICEF and I appreciate the opportunities Tulane presents to its students. I plan on taking part in the Latin American Studies Program to gain experience working in developing countries and perfecting my Spanish (since both things are criteria demanded by UNICEF for those seeking to be employed with the organization).</p>
<p>So what do you think? :)</p>
